Tense Calm Prevails In Israel As Cease Fire Nears End
JERUSALEM, (JTA)-- Israelis remained calm but with an underlying mood of tension today as the final week of the current Suez cease-fire began. Ihe truce, which was extended for 90 days when it expired last' Nov. 5, will terminate tomorrow, Feb."5. Cairo has declared that there would be no further extension unless Israel acquiesced to certain political conditions which it regards as unacceptable. But most Israelis believe that Eg5^t will contuiue to observe the cease-fire on a de facto basis as long as the Jarring talks are in progress. Political sources here said that Aml>assador Jarring may present a new report on his mission to United Nations Secretary. Goteral U Itiant within the next few days. The sources said such*a report obviously would,be aimed at inducing the Egyptians to extend the truce and enabling them to do SO without' losing face. The sources said Jarring would-probably state .for the record ttiat the renewed peace talks under his auspic^ hav^ gotten off to a useful start
(U,S.,5^etary of State. William v^sJRogers said in Washingtbn Friday that he , was" "convinced ttiat the (Mideast) parties are on the verge of entering serious hegotiations" and that he hoped the cease-fire would "be extended beyond Feb. 5.

Ben Goodman, General Chairman of the 1971 Campaign of the United Jewish Fund and Council, has announced^ ''that the Campaign is entering a new phase, as solicitors move out into the community, to contact prospects who will be expected to give as they have never given before, so that the $3,000,000 goal can be attained..
"Each day," said Mr. Goodman, "the people of 'Israel make sacrifices in their pursuit of peace, but essential human services cannot be sacrificed. To ipeet •¦ our traditional obligation, by providing the' full cosf of otir humanitarian I>rograms for Israel's im¬ migrants in 1971, we are. beiijlg asked to cbnMbute twice as much as last year.

WASHINGTON (JTA)- Sen. Henry 'M.. Jackson charged today that President Nixon's new budget request to exteqd military credit to Israel is "wholly iiiadeqiute, both as- to amount and terms" especially at a "critical moment in the Midifle East which has become the cock¬ pit of the cold war." The Washington Democrat said that "rather than using the existing broad and decisive ^ authority granted last year in Sect. 501 of tiie Defense Procurement Act, the Ad¬ ministration has chosen to treat Israel's pressing military requirements in the routine tnahner of the Foreign Military Sales Act." Jackson pointed out that the new budget asked $582 million : for nlilitary assistance to 15 countries, including. Israel, Without setting forth specific sums for each cguntry. Capitol Hill sources,observed that with .15 countries sharing, in the $582 ^million, Israel was hardly likely to' receive the $500 million authorized for her last year.
It was Sen. Jackson who .drafted Sect. 501 - of ' the Defense Procurement Act which gave the President broad authority to authorize substantial military pur¬ chase credits for Israel. Credit terms under Sect. 501 are much easier than under the Military Sales Act.
Moreover, ; the Ad¬ ministration's request for funds under the Sales Act will have to run the gaunttet^ of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee beaded by Sen. J. William Fulbright,. the Arkansas Democrat who strongly opposed Sect. 501 of the Defense Procurement Act because of its open- «nded aid to Israel. .
Sen. Jackson said he was. "dismayed by the failure of the Administration's new budget to use the broad authority to extend military credits to' Israel that was overwhelmingly voted by the last Congress;" He added:
"The measure passed last year carried a strong and decisive policy statement aimed directly at Moscow tbat won the approval of 87 Senators. Now the Ad¬ ministration has decided gratuitously to request authority it already has, but without the sense of urgency the Congress took pains to emphasize last year, and which is as necessary as ever." Jackson contended that "This action may be interpreted in Moscow as an indication of indecision and ^bivalence at precisely the time when firmness and resolve are needed."
